Question

How do I solve this linear inequality? 5x - 7 > 4x + 8

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x > 15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7 > 4x + 8

Subtract 4x to both sides, and Add 7 to both sides

5x - 4x > 8 + 7

x > 15

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

just like an equation.

5x - 7 > 4x + 8 | -4x + 7

x > 15

and that is your result.

in contrast to an equation, an inequality delivers a range as result and not a single point.
